Everything a club night needs

Players record their own games, staff approve them, and the rankings, league table and stats keep themselves up to date.

Live Elo ladder

Every game moves the rankings, with margin of victory, giant-slayer bonuses and a Top list you can show on the club TV.

A league that runs itself

Seasons, standings and league points. Matchmaking pairs players for you, with challenges and swaps when someone can't play.

Players add their own games

Results go in from the table on a phone. The opponent confirms, staff approve, and nobody types up a spreadsheet.

Team events, sorted

Team lists, matchup ratings and a pairing helper that fills gaps with worldwide win rates, so captains stop guessing.

Army lists and meta

Every player's list in one place, and which armies your club plays most and how well they do, next to worldwide numbers.

WhatsApp or Discord

Opponents message each other to arrange games, through the app each player picks. Numbers and usernames are never shown on the page.

Your club's data, looked after

Run by a club player who looks after IT security for a living.

Kept apart from other clubs

Each club has its own players, games and settings, locked with its own encryption key, so one club can never see or affect another.

Personal details encrypted

Email addresses, phone numbers and Discord usernames are stored encrypted, and only shown to the people who need them.

Players stay in control

A clear privacy notice (UK GDPR). Players can see everything held about them and delete their account at any time.

Secure sign-in and backups

Two-factor sign-in for staff, sign-in attempts logged, and regular backups. Your club's data is yours: ask and we'll send you a full copy.

Questions

Do players have to pay?

No. Players use Ladderline free. Clubs pay one price for everyone, and players can leave an optional tip if they want to.

What do we need to run it?

Nothing to install. It works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and players can add it to their home screen like an app.

Is our club's data kept separate?

Yes. Each club has its own players, games and settings. Only your staff can change them.

What happens if we stop paying?

You get 14 days to sort it out. After that the club is frozen: everyone can still sign in and see results, but nothing new can be added until the club pays again.

Can we bring our old results?

Yes. Staff can import games from a spreadsheet (CSV) or from Best Coast Pairings.
